From Gary Kidd: My district is working with iPads for kindergarteners in one of our primary schools. We are closely following the work in Auburn. Is there a way to get an outline of the PD for Paradigm Shifts work?

Branding, social marketing need to be part of your lingo in your schools. Mike explains how this happened in Auburn.

We have learned so many other things by being 1:1
(00:44:42) Alice Barr (SEEDlings) (guest-2968):
Really important that it's a team of people... Wisdom of the crowd!
(00:45:06) guest-2416:
Yes, collaboration and sharing!
(00:51:30) guest-2416:
Information age schools must develop the talent of everybody, not sort out the best learners. (paraphrase)
(00:52:07) guest-2416:
How can we change our structure.
(00:59:05) guest-2416:
. But it is important to keep in mind that this will develop a teacher’s personal use skill, not their integration for learning skill. That’s not a problem. The problem comes from thinking that if teachers know how to use their iPad that they also know how to leverage it for their students’ learning…

(01:06:47) Alice Barr (SEEDlings) (guest-2968):
